Berlin air corridors a. Yesterday's incident in the southern air corridor, when two Soviet fighters buzzed and fired on a privately-owned British plane fly- ing into Berlin, seems to be another case of Soviet sensitivity to what Moscow claims is a "misuse" of Allied corridor rights. b. Increased Soviet aerial surveillance of the air corridors. and West Berlin airfields has been in effect since 25 March, when Soviet aircraft reacted to the round-robin flights of a US?C-130. That air- craft has been at Templehof since the incident, and the Soviets are ap- parently waiting for it to take off on its outbound flight. C, The Soviet representative in the Berlin Air Safety Center had protested the British plane's flight when notified that it was scheduled to take place. d. The aircraft, piloted by a British television personality flying into Berlin to do a show for the RAF, disregarded orders to land and put down safely in Berlin. 50X1 50X1 50X1 Ces" nrd?Tes., C&s,re14.

Laps b. There is a conspicuous lack of far-rightists ?and represent- atives of discredited old-line parties among the civilians named to the cabinet. c. The country's nearest neigh- bors, Honduras and El Salvador, are consulting on whether to recognize. .d. Ydigoras is quoted as saying he plans to leave 'Nicaragua for the VS on Saturday.. a. Except for a knee-jerk reaction from the Pathet Lao, who blame the "imperialists," there is quiet caution all around over the assassination of Quinim. b. The bodyguard who did the shooting is in government custody but is so far insisting that he acted entirely on his own. A bland government communique says little more than that Quinim was shot but the government does not know why.
